Cloud Cost Visibility at Scale: Why It Fails & How to Fix It | Harness Blog

Why does your cloud cost visibility break down the moment someone spins up a Kubernetes cluster in a new region without telling anyone? You get the alert three weeks later when the bill arrives — and by then, nobody remembers which experiment justified the spend, or which team should own it. This scenario repeats constantly across platform teams managing multi-cloud environments at scale. Cloud cost visibility works fine when you have five services and one AWS account.

From Rollouts to Results: Unlocking the Value of Feature Management and Experimentation

Recorded at @DevOpsLive In today’s fast-paced software landscape, releasing new features is no longer just about speed - it’s about control, confidence, and measurable impact.

AI for Everything After Code: Ship Fast, Stay Safe

Recorded at @DevOpsLive Most teams have “done DevOps” and “built a platform,” but still wrestle with the same core problems: platforms that developers dodge, AI that accelerates coding while quietly degrading delivery performance, security and compliance that can’t keep up, cloud bills that keep climbing, and incident response that hasn’t caught up with cloud‑native complexity.

Why Release Management Is Broken and How to Fix It

Are you tired of slow, expensive, and ineffective Change Advisory Board (CAB) meetings? In this video, Eric Minick from Harness explores the evolution of release management and how to transition from traditional manual approvals to a streamlined, automated DevOps approach.

By individuals who choose to step into complex systems and shape how they function. As an engineering leader driving application and API security, I have always believed that our industry is at its best when complex concepts are made accessible and practical for everyone.

AI vs. Hype: Redefining Engineering Excellence with Ron Miller

In this episode of "ShipTalk: Engineering Excellence," host Thomas Dockstader sits down with Ron Miller, editor at Fast Forward, to discuss the real-world impact of AI on software development. They dive deep into the maturity of AI-driven code, the rise of the "citizen developer," and why traditional writing and communication skills are becoming the new must-have for modern engineers.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) 101: Everything You Need to Know | Harness Blog

A single second of latency can cost e-commerce sites millions in revenue, while just minutes of downtime trigger customer churn that takes months to recover. Modern users expect instant responses and seamless experiences, making reliability a competitive feature that directly impacts business outcomes. Site Reliability Engineering treats operations as a software problem rather than a manual discipline. SRE applies engineering principles to achieve measurable reliability through automation.

Your AI Agents Are Only As Good As Your Data | Harness Blog

Every agent demo follows the same arc. The agent calls an API. A deployment triggers. A ticket gets created. The audience is impressed. Then someone asks a real question: "Which regions had the highest order failure rate this quarter, and are any of them linked to vendor SLA breaches?" That question crosses four entity types — orders, fulfillment records, vendors, SLA contracts.
